Description Vincent Fiack 2004-09-21 01:04:45 AEST 
in order to script a few actions with sftp (client), we need to check if some
operation worked or not, ...

in sftp-common.c, you have a function named fx2txt which converts the status
code to a user-friendly message.

Could you append the error code to these messages ?
Thanks !

No, for the same reason that "ls /nonexistent" doesn't say "ls: /nonexistent: No
such file or directory[2]" - it doesn't help normal users.

Just use a regex to parse the messages - the error message names have been
perfectly stable since 2001 :)

Change all RESOLVED bug to CLOSED with the exception of the ones fixed post-4.4.
